5. XII. 1919

Comrade Enukidze!

Could you not arrange for the distribution of provisions to Comrade Valentina Petrovna Smirnova, living in the Kremlin, wife of Vladimir Mikhailovich Smirnov, who is at the front?

They say she is starving.

I very much ask you to telephone me with your answer.

Your Lenin
